The box was presented to it, and Governor Deng took the initiative to get up and wanted to take it, but he stretched out a hand in the oblique thorn first, and Sun Boran took it.

"I've been in charge of this from the beginning, and I'm still in charge of it to the end. Sun Boran smiled faintly.

Responsible for these two words, it is power and responsibility, Governor Zhang did not express his position, and Governor Deng smiled when he saw the opportunity, and said: "It should be so, I was also helping to help." ”

For some reason, hearing his words, Governor Zhang turned his head sideways and glanced at him lightly, but he didn't speak.

It was a long wooden box, two fists the size, an inch high, unpretentious, uncarved and unadorned. Sun Boran took the wooden box, but did not open it immediately, but looked at it a little stunned.

"What's wrong?" Liu Huzi next to him was slumped in the chair to rest, noticing his movements, and turned his head in surprise.

"Master, look. Sun Boran still didn't open the box, but handed it over.

"It's not just a ......" Liu Huzi only said four words, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone around were cast. Examiner Liao and Examiner Ji were relatively close to Liu Huzi, and they were embarrassed to take something from his hand, so they looked at his hand. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything, I looked at each other suspiciously, and shook my head together.

Governor Zhang didn't pay much attention to the box outside, but when he looked over through Sun Boran, he saw something first, and said "Huh".

"The materials used in this box are very ingenious. He exclaimed.

Liao Ji and the others reacted when they heard this. This wooden box is only coated with a layer of varnish, and the wood grain can be clearly seen.

Normally, only one side of the wood grain is continuous, and the front and side are two different sides, and the grain will of course be interrupted.

But this box is different. Its corners are rounded, and all the lines on the front and back sides are like flowing water, all of which are connected into one, which is very ingenious.

This should be like Governor Zhang said, the wood is well chosen, and the wood grains on different sides are just right.

For them, such a natural and ingenious piece of wood is just used to make an ordinary small box, which is too violent and wasteful.

But the expressions of Sun Boran and Liu Huzi's master and apprentice were extremely meaningful, as if they had seen something else from them.

The two glanced at each other, Sun Boran stopped studying the box, and took it to open it.

The inside of the box is also very simple, smooth and flat, and there is no carving, not even varnish. But after Governor Zhang's reminder just now, everyone noticed that the wood grain inside the box was also continuous.

It is clear that, in addition to the natural texture of the wood, the craftsmanship of the craftsman who makes it is also a key.

It's just like its selection of materials, this kind of craftsmanship is used on such a simple wooden box to hold things, which makes people feel even more violent.

However, there are also two possibilities, either it is the master's practice, or the master who made it is so good that he can bring a box at his fingertips, and inadvertently embodies such a high-end technology......

This time, Sun Boran just glanced at it, didn't say much, and took out the contents of the box.

It was a note, a piece of paper to be exact, the kind used by ordinary scribes to leave notes.

Sun Boran took out the note, first twisted it on it, felt the paper, and then brought it to the distance in front of his eyes that could almost touch the eyelashes, and looked up unexpectedly: "Is that one?"

"It's the one. Xu Wen nodded affirmatively.

The two of them asked and answered like dumb riddles, and most of the people around them looked confused.

In the middle of this, Jiang Wangfeng reacted immediately, and grabbed Xu Wen's hand: "Is that one?"

"Yes. Xu Wen replied in the affirmative.

"So fast? Didn't you say no? Who did it?" Jiang Wangfeng was very excited, stretched his neck to look at the paper, and asked excitedly.

He crackled and said a lot of words, without a single point, and the person next to him was in a hurry, what the hell is this talking about!

"What is this? Why is this evidence of the Jinglin Temple coercion incident?" in the end, Governor Zhang asked directly.

"On September 30, candidates Xu Wen, Jiang Wangfeng, and Xu Linchuan were coerced by a group of evil monks. The group of evil monks stayed in Jinglin Temple for a long time in the name of a pending order, and accepted the employment of outsiders, and the employment method was to write a note and put it in the ...... together with the deposit."

Sun Boran recounted what happened that night publicly, and his words were not hurried, and his words were concise and to the point, but they were very clear.

Xu Wen and the three of them didn't come back that night, and the heads of the objects who lived in the Xinziyi Mansion must have known. At first, they thought that these three people had missed the curfew for unruly and were about to be disqualified from the exam, and they were still a little gloating in their hearts.

After a long time, the atmosphere in the public office began to be a little tense, and they also sensed that something was wrong, but they still didn't know what was going on. It's just that they have to take the exam the next day, they don't have time to care about others, and they have to force themselves to sleep.

The next morning, the three men still didn't return, but the atmosphere was getting worse and worse.

They were suspicious, and when they arrived at the examination room, they found their fellow villagers and chatted a few words, but no one knew what was wrong.

Later, when the exam began, Xu Wen and Jiang Wangfeng arrived in time, and they knew that something had happened last night when they saw that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.

They were a little frightened, and more confused and speculative.

Out of some ominous thinking, after the exam, they didn't want to make some new friends as they did before they came, but found a group of fellow villagers who knew the roots.

Only now did they know what exactly happened that night.

"Isn't this a piece of paper?" Governor Zhang looked at the thing in Sun Boran's hand.

"That's right. But there are masters in the world who can turn decay into magic. Sun Boran said.

Governor Zhang didn't see what this note was soaked in first, so he didn't think anything about it, just nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have a beloved work that was accidentally soaked in a water cup by my young son, and I asked Master Wang of Xiuyi Zhai to repair it, and finally there were no wet marks on the paper, and there was no trace of repair at all. ”

Sun Boran just smiled when he heard it, and did not explain.

Xiuyizhai is a branch of Tianzuo's Excellency, specializing in the restoration of calligraphy and painting, and is very famous among the literati of Jiangnan Road.

And that night, the big boss and the chief steward of Tianzuo Pavilion were all present, and they all shook their heads and said that the note had been completely scrapped and could not be used.

As a result, it was repaired like this, just like the tea-soaked painting that Governor Zhang said, the ink was clear, and there was no wet mark. But no matter the ink color of the paper, or the remaining pen and a half in the middle, it fully shows that this piece of paper is the one he "lent" to Xu Wen at that time, and it was definitely not exchanged!

This craftsmanship is really clever, and it really deserves to be ......

Sun Boran sighed in his heart, quickly retracted his thoughts, and looked at the words written on the paper.

The content of the words is exactly the same as what the honest monk said - that guy is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and after being arrested, he will say anything and be very cooperative. But only the simplest things are written in this content, and no superfluous information is revealed.

Sun Boran glanced at it twice and shouted to the back: "Zuo Teng." ”

A teenager ran up and said, "My lord." ”

"Copy a hundred copies of them according to the handwriting, and give them to the Governor. Sun Boran commanded.

"Yes!" Zuo Teng quickly agreed.

Governor Zhang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but he also quickly called one of his own subordinates: "After Lord Sun's ink is delivered, arrange for someone to check it strictly." Starting from our governor's palace, the prefects' offices ......"

He turned to Governor Deng's mansion and said with a smile, "Lord Deng, I can't help but be disturbed." ”
